Summary "The Arm-Chair at the Inn" by Francis Hopkinson Smith is a collection of fictional accounts written in the early 20th century. It revolves around the gatherings of a group of friends at a charming inn in Normandy, celebrating their camaraderie, the art of conversation, and the hospitality of the landlord, Lemois. The primary character appears to be a narrator who shares both personal anecdotes and the various characters that come and go, offering a glimpse into vibrant friendships and memorable evenings spent at the inn. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the Marmouset, a beautifully appointed dining room in the inn, as the characters prepare for a gathering. The landlord, Lemois, is busy setting the scene with great care, ensuring a warm and inviting atmosphere for the dinner. As other characters, such as the sculptor Herbert and painter Louis, arrive, we witness the playful banter between friends and a sense of excitement around the evening ahead. The narrative suggests a rich tapestry of interactions, underlying humor, and storytelling that characterizes the unique charm of the inn and the friendships forged within its walls.
